This package allows you to set up the Linux console, change the font,
resize text mode virtual consoles and remap the keyboard.
You will probably want to install a set of data files, such as the one
in the “console-data” package.

Changelog

2014-10-25 - Michael Schutte <michi@debian.org>
kbd (1.15.5-2) unstable; urgency=medium
* Not updating to the new upstream version 2.0.2, as it contains major
changes (including a shared object for most of dumpkeys' and loadkeys'
features) and we're close to the freeze.
* /etc/init.d/kbd: More accurately detect allocated ttys in /etc/inittab,
closes: #744973.
* /etc/init.d/kbd: Instead of checking for console access based on fgconsole
and the file behind FD 0, use the test_console function from
console-setup's setupcon. This makes the script run even under systemd,
closes: #750631.
* /etc/init.d/kbd: Parse /etc/systemd/logind.conf, if available, to find the
list of VTs to configure.
* README.Debian: Information on console-setup and its predecessors, closes:
#750814. Thanks to Osamu Aoki for the patch.
* debian/rules: Remove the -u parameter from dh_installinit, as update-rc.d
no longer supports the “start” option.
* Fix a few typos in debian/copyright, courtesy of lintian.
* Update Standards-Version to 3.9.6, no source changes required.
* Medium urgency upload so we get a couple of days in testing before the
freeze.

2013-02-17 - Michael Schutte <michi@debian.org>
kbd (1.15.5-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream release.
- Drop the loadkeys_stdin patch introduced in 1.15.3-2 (included in this
version).
- The kbd tarball now ships with a basic implementation of vlock. This
program will not be included in the binary package.
- resizecons is now built and installed on amd64, closes: #692014. Also
amend the manpages patch to explain the program’s absence on
non-x86[_64] architectures in resizecons.8.
- Build the Spanish messages again (dropped in 1.15.3-1).
* Treat src/loadkeys.analyze.h (generated by flex, but also shipped in the
orig tarball) specially in debian/rules so the clean target functions
properly and the package can be built twice in a row.
* Use dh-autoreconf to regenerate config.guess and config.sub during the
build process, closes: #700119. This introduces new build-deps on
dh-autoreconf and autopoint and removes the explicit dependencies on
autoconf and automake. Thanks to Colin Watson <cjwatson@ubuntu.com> for
the hint.
* Update the source URL and the years of publication in debian/copyright and
add a paragraph for the added vlock code.
* New patch loadkeys_flex_stack, taken from upstream Git: Fix a regression
in loadkeys.analyze.l which causes some keymap files to fail to load.
* New patch dead2 by Samuel Thibault <sthibault@debian.org> to support
KT_DEAD2 diacritics in loadkeys and dumpkeys, closes: #694169. Thank you
for the patch, Samuel!
* Drop the “Skipping font and keymap setup” message from /etc/init.d/kbd
because it’s really somewhat silly to log what the script isn’t doing.
* Use a canonical URL for the Vcs-Git: field.
* Bump Standards-Version: to 3.9.4, no changes necessary.
